Sup, Beaches?

It was surprisingly quite easy for the normally can't-sit-still me to spend the entirety of today on the beach. Pulling up a yellow wooden lounge lounge chair under an equally yellow umbrella I settled in for countless hours with the salty water lapping at my toes. Also to do with my toes was the foot, or should I say lower-leg massage that stretched me from ticklish thigh down to the tip of my big toe. (I opted out of the pedi, while Larissa went for the whole shebang).

From there the afternoon was an intermingling of floating in the waves, drinking chilled beer, catching up on over a week's worth of journalling, and purchasing new sunglasses, while turning down most of the other beach hawkers with their various wares from breaded shrimp, to henna, banana boat rides, fresh fruit and jewelry. However with the late afternoon sun peaking under the edge of the umbrella I couldn't resist the cookies'n' ice cream frozen stick.

With the apparently hectic city of Bangkok becoming our temporary residence tomorrow I think it was for the best that we recharged today on the beach and are now ready to battle the traffic and smog.
